This Nuguigami, a set of Japanese traditional paper known as kōzo-gami that is made of a soft, sensitive pulp tissue exclusively for sword wiping purpose. You can wipe off the excessive oil and unnecessary dust quickly and securely.

The extra wiping paper was a large sheet folded into panels to form a thick pad. Each panel can be cut into two smaller pieces, and as one can last you for more than several cleanings, buying this product means you won't have to buy more oil paper for a long time. The only downside is that there is no easy way to apply the oil apart from getting a big stain in the middle with the choji bottle. Maybe I'm using the small one. Apart from that, the paper does very well as it holds the oil for a long time.

When given a choice, go the authentic route ...

Like many other accessories, necessity can be the mother of invention, and sometimes there is little functional difference between the "original" and the make shift.

Paper technology is such that high quality kitchen paper towel could be used as a substitute, as it has similar characteristics of softness and absorption. However, as in all things there is a certain joy in using something traditional and authentic, so I by choice will always have stock of this in my maintenance kit.
